§ 27. Commander BELLAIRSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty satisfy themselves as to the arrangements made by private establishments in regard to the insurances they effect with fire insurance companies; and whether these inquiries cover all the ramifications of the insurances so as to prevent disclosure of the work being done coming into undesirable hands?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThe question referred to has by no means been lost sight of. The Admiralty is satisfied that steps have been taken by every practicable means to prevent the disclosure of important information to the enemy and that these steps are adequate.
